Oregon Order to Prevent Abuse (DOPA) is a type of civil order of protection that is issued by the court to provide safety for victims of domestic violence, stalking, or harassment in the state of Oregon. DOPA is a tool used by the court to protect victims from further harm or contact from the abuser. Oops, can include a wide range of provisions, including ordering the abuser to stay away from the victim’s home, workplace, or school, as well as ordering the abuser to stay away from the victim’s family, friends, or other people the victim may associate with. Oops, can also include provisions such as prohibiting contact between the abuser and victim, ordering the abuser to stay away from the victim’s pets, or requiring the abuser to surrender any firearms. There are two types of Oregon Orders preventing Abuse: Temporary Orders and Extended Orders. Temporary Orders are issued when the court believes that an immediate risk of harm exists and can be issued without the abuser present. These orders are only in effect for 14-days and can be renewed by the court for an additional 14-days if necessary. Extended Orders are issued when the abuser is present and can last up to one year. These orders can also be extended by the court if necessary.
